Payroll and Rewards Specialist – US Hedge Fund Expansion – Up to £100K base + Significant Bonus – WFH flexibility

A multi-billion dollar AuM US hedge fund manager is looking to hire a European Rewards and Payroll Manager, based out of their rapidly expanding London office.

The hire is a newly created role as a result of the firm’s recent European expansion and increasing London office headcount. The hire will process payroll for the firm’s offices across EMEA, manage third-party vendors, and be actively involved in the administration and improvement of benefits processes across all jurisdictions. The hire will be solely responsible for the remit (with some support from the US HQ team) and have the autonomy to work on projects involving platform upgrades, new benefit scheme roll-outs, and system improvements. The hire will manage employee queries at all levels and drive communication strategy for pertinent changes to payroll and benefits platforms and schemes. The hire will have significant stakeholder management responsibilities, liaising with external stakeholders connected to the rewards and payroll processes, managing contracts and renewals, and exploring new offerings.

Candidates should have at least 5 years of experience as a Payroll and Benefits Specialist/Manager/Officer at a hedge fund, asset manager, or bank with experience covering EMEA (and ideally the US). The client is looking for an individual who can work in a lean and collaborative team within a growth-oriented environment operating autonomously.

This is an important hire for the firm, and my client is paying up to £100K basic salary with a large bonus percentage achievable for a top performer. The firm offers a market-leading benefits package with excellent private healthcare and fully subsidized breakfast/lunch. The firm also offers WFH flexibility.
